    We are more than pleased to announce the Grateful Dead's most ambitious release ever: 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN. Available as both an 80-disc boxed set and a custom lightning-bolt USB drive, the collection includes 30 unreleased live shows, one for each year the band was together from 1966 to 1995, along with one track from their earliest recording sessions in 1965. Packed with over 73 hours of music, both the boxed set and the USB drive will be individually numbered limited editions.

    The 80-disc boxed set is individually numbered and limited to 6,500 copies, a nod to the band’s formation in 1965. Along with the CDs, it also includes a gold-colored 7-inch vinyl single which bookends the band’s career. The A-side is “Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)” from the band’s earliest recording session in 1965 with the B-side of the last song the band ever performed together live, “Box Of Rain” recorded during their final encore at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 9, 1995.

    The box also comes with a 288-page book that features an extensive, career-spanning essay written by Nick Meriwether, who oversees the Dead archives at the University of California, Santa Cruz, along with special remembrances of the band submitted by fans. Also included is a scroll that offers a visual representation of how the band’s live repertoire has evolved through the years.

    The USB drive version* will be shaped like a gold lightning bolt with the Grateful Dead 50th anniversary logo engraved on the side. The drive includes all of the music from the collection in both FLAC (96/24) and MP3 formats and is an individually numbered limited edition of 1,000 copies. Digital version of the book also included on USB.

    Shows will NOT be sold individually on CD. This release is sure to sell out quickly so pre-order your copy today and stick around as we will be revealing a mighty fine selection of music, art, and much, much more right here.

    (Looking for a smaller 50th Anniversary commemorative keepsake? September 18th will see the release of a four-CD version of the collection titled 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN: THE DEFINITIVE LIVE STORY 1965-1995. More on that here.)

    Last Night's Listening
    I played '76 and '78, as I said I would, at work last night/this morning. There may have been a song or two I liked from '76, but '78 was the standout of the two. I was REALLY impressed with the 'Let It Grow' and 'Samson And Delilah'. Jerry was... I really need new phrases for this. He was on fire, but I always say that. He was harnessing lightning on those songs. And both Bobby and Donna were going for broke on S & D. That Providence show is my favorite '78 show so far. I mean, I've only heard DaP15, DP25 and The Closing Of Winterland besides this one.. but of the 4, this one's my pick.

    "Let's hear it for Pig"
    I just finished 1966. That Midnight Hour is pretty hot, and Pig is in fine form, vamping his way through the whole thing. I must say again, Billy was the man on this tape, really creative drum fills. Bill Graham at the end of the night " Let's hear it for Pig"

    Donna
    I originally did not care much for Donna as I was only acquainted with her wailing on PITB from the early 70's. But, I must say, I really like the harmony she adds on the material from '74 and beyond. Her contributions to songs like "Look Like Rain" from the '77 era are outstanding. Overall, I think she was a net plus for the band.

    Phil's 50th
    The day Phil turned 50. I was in the middle of what was nicknamed " Spring Broke ". (KU student) Because by the end of it, I had no money. I started out with money. But with car issues in Vandalia Illinios. Never forget that. I ended up in Landover. Phils 50th. I tried to get a ticket to no avail. I knew a girl from Pennsylvania. I had met at RFK on a earlier tour. So I was walking towards the parking lot where I thought she might be. But I wanted just one more: Glimpse of light through the curtains in the hallway through the glass on the outside of PHIL's 50 Birthday. "Spring Broke". As I walked towards the glass of the doors of the stadium to see all I could see which was just the lights moving through the tops of the corners of the curtains. I noticed a group of What I would call Washington Suits ( Boys and Girls) who got comp tickets that were leaving. I got myself in the same foot work as them and walked towards the door. The minute they opened it. I was there and walked right in. Still had about 30 feet to go. The security guard sitting in the chair was watching the Dead Heads dance. Bam I am in. Now I ran to find a place to go. Got there. Then I opened a Budweiser can I had in my jean jacket. I was not expecting to be in. Security guard saw my Bud Can and went after me. I turned around and all I saw was the the wall at the very back of the stadium so I ran up there. Then I hit the floor in the very last row of The Capital Center Landover Maryland Phil's 50th Birthday. I crawled under all the seats under the legs of the dead heads. At least 4 people. It was Drums so it was mellow, lots of people sitting in the back row. I looked up at a Dead Head and said " I am from Kansas I just sneaked in. Help me." he covered me with his leg. And in a few minutes he said it was all cool. No one was sitting there. Empty seat I got to Phil. Phil's 50th set for me was "drums space take you home throwing stones wharf rat not fade away. the kicker was when the encore hit. at first i though it was deal. No it was Revolution. Wow. "Spring Broke"

    Has 30 Trips brought back some interesting memories ...
    I wondered if getting (or anticipating) the 30 Trips box/USB triggered any special memories, and particularly of the last time you saw the Dead play … In my case, I actually forgot the last time I saw the Dead until just recently. Maybe someone will find this story entertaining. Because of my renewed Grateful Dead interest, due to 30 Trips and Fare Thee Well, I’ve been doing a little organizing and cleaning. Now, I am not a sentimental person and tend to throw memorabilia out fast. However, I was organizing a box with some CDs and on the bottom I saw a little piece of paper peaking out of the cardboard flap. What was it? A used ticket stub, Grateful Dead, 10/31/90 Wembley Arena. The last time that I saw the Dead and a totally hot show (looking forward to the 30 Trips show from that tour). Why did I put it out of my mind? Well, the evening started out well. I took the subway (sorry, Underground) from where I was staying along with my British friend (who had never heard the Dead). The closer we got to Wembley, the greater proportion of Americans so that by the time we arrived, I could have been in the USA. As mentioned it was a hot show. Garcia was in full voice (until the last hour then rough), his guitar fluent poetry, the band in great synchronicity. Truckin’ ragged, out of tune vocals, wild percussion, with Vince & Jerry bouncing to Weir’s vocals. They played over three hours. The audience dug every minute and was flying with the band. I was as much in the Dead Zone as I was twenty years earlier at the Fillmore E. After the show I turned to my friend to ask, what did you think? To which she answered “interesting” which I immediately translated from the British to mean “boring”. So, I guess you could say, it was a great show, but a really lousy date! Pity we had train tix to elsewhere in England the next day, so it dragged on another couple of days. Anyway, I highly recommend Wembley 10/31/90 to everyone. It is available in an OK mp3 soundboard stream at the archive. I assume (hope) someday that entire Europe tour will see an official, high quality release. At least we have the Paris show in 30 Trips.

This offering from 30 Trips is a classic Bruce/Vinnie show! The whole fall 1990 tour really. For a band who just hired two new players this tour has some mighty fine moments. New York to the UK and more! Good stuff!
